I'm just wondering, because to me they do the same thing, unless I'm missing something
Thanks for this!

For myself I use hug when I feel the person could use a hug. I use thanks when I appreciate the perspective/point of view given. Really though either/or shows support.

What about using both, or is that silly or annoying?
Thanks for this!

i know some people are compulsive about giving hugs. personally, i don't do hugs, IRL or online... so, when i say "Thanks", i mean Thanks for Sharing that... Thanks for Daring that... Thanks for letting me See you~

to me, hugs are more pitiful, some might say compassionate; but there are a lot of huggers out there. do both if you wanna!

Some peoples software only allow thanks, no hugs.

Its kind of random for me personally.

I use "Thanks" when I feel the poster wrote something that I feel the same about or that I could have wrote it or I experienced the same thing.

Hugs only when I feel so sad for what they are going through.
